Than again what they are doing is all attributed to who they are doing it against? Rigo ahead of Crawford and Canelo shouldn't even be on the list.
    So that's

    1)Chocolatito
    2)Rigo
    3)Crawford

    Or Loma ahead as well?

    I can never figure out who should be at the top. It's much easier to figure who shouldn't be. For me it is almost all about what you have done. A slight adjustment for what I think you can go on to do. But it seems many think of what they think you can do first. I don't like that approach because we are all wrong from time to time. But we're never wrong about what already happened. As you said, Canelo is not anywhere unless the list is long.

    On what basis is Chocalatito clearly number 1 then? I'm 100% asking and not trying to antagonize, as I don't follow the lower weights closely and wouldn't know how good many of his opponents were.
    Still, it strikes me that most people do have him as the top guy based more on how good he looks relative to everyone else around his weight, no? If you only factor in relative attributes and skills, wouldn't a tiny guy almost always be the best boxer in the world? It's physically impossible for a reasonably sized man to be as dexterous as someone who is almost legally a midget.
    Well first thing is the little guys are far far better. Like you say they have far better dexterity. But about Chocolatito. He has been champion for 8 years, 15 title fights 15 victories and that is spanning 3 weight classes. Guy is only 5'3" yet in September he is moving on to challenge for a title in a 4th weightclass. And while most of the little guys hold their titles hostage in their countries Gonzalez has been a road warrior. Since his first title he has fought more in Japan than his home country, an equal number of fights in Mexico as his home country and after his fight in September he will have fought more times in the USA than his home country since his first title fight. BTW, he has fought 0 title fights in his home country. He has the accomplishments to consider him for the top. It isn't just that he looks so damn good.

    I mean where would GGG be ranked if he moved up to 168, won the title, defended it a few times, then moved up to 175 and won the title then defended it a few times then moved up to challenge for a title at Cruiserweight
